March 2, 1981
To: Faculty and Administrative Personnel
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: 1981-82 Administrative Fellows Program
The Trustees' Budget includes funds for continued support for the CSUC Administrative Fellows Program. Although the Trustees request must still go through review by the legislative and executive branches of the State, there is at this time no reason to think that the Legislature will not support this program, fully or in part.
It is essential, however, that all applicants understand that ap?pointments will be contingent on funds being provided in the final Budget which will not be signed until June 30, 1981.
Full details of the program and application materials may be obtained in the office of your School Dean, the Academic Vice President, or my office.
Purpose of the Program
The purpose of the program is to provide an opportunity for upward mobility especially aimed at ensuring that women and persons from ethnic minority backgrounds are given equal opportunities for place- ment and advancement in administrative, managerial and executive positions in the CSUC.
Application for the Administrative Fellows Program is open to academic and administrative personnel who have a tenured/permanent or probationary position on their campus and who desire to prepare themselves for a career option into administration or management. Final selection of fellows and operation of the program will be on a nondiscriminatory basis.
The Administrative Fellows who are selected will normally be assigned to a campus other than their own. Only under very unusual or compelling reasons will fellows be assigned to their home campus. Therefore, applicants should seriously consider their mobility as a factor in making their personal decision to apply for an appointment. The fellowship is for the Academic Year, 1981-82. Fellows will receive their regular salary, vacation and retirement benefits as if they were in their regular position at their home campus.
Timetable for Applications
March 23, 1981
Deadline for applications. Applications must be filed in the Office of the President by 5:00 p.m. March 23, 1981. Confidential Evaluation Forms must also be submitted by March 23, 1981.
Latter Part of May, and early June, 1981
Offers of appointment as Administrative Fellow will be made.
Early June, 1981
Meeting of Fellows and Mentors.
Complete copies of the program announcement and application forms are available in the offices of the School Deans, the Academic Vice President, or the President. Those wishing further information should contact the Office of the Academic Vice President.

Press release 2/2018
10 January 2018
Minister for Nordic Cooperation Anne Berner has invited Master of Laws Kimmo Sasi to represent Finland in the Freedom of Movement Council, a body under the Nordic Council of Ministers, for the years 2018 and 2019. Each of the Nordic countries and the Åland Islands, Greenland and the Faroe Islands have one member in the Freedom of Movement Council. Risto E. J. Penttilä, CEO of the Finland Chamber of Commerce, was Finland's representative from 2015 until 2017.
The Freedom of Movement Council started its activities in 2014. The Nordic governments set it up to promote freedom of movement in the Nordic region for private people and companies by means of revising regulations and practices that hamper movement of people or cross-border activities of companies in the Nordic countries. Thanks to the work of the Freedom of Movement Council, several cross-border barriers affecting the labour market and the social and education sectors have been removed.
Sasi has served in the Nordic Council of Ministers and in the Nordic Council in the period1987–2015, and he held the Presidency of the Nordic Council in 2012.
Inquiries: Johan Schalin, Chief of the Secretariat for Nordic Cooperation, tel.+ 358 295 351 781.

Exponents: Power rule
Properties of Exponents:
In mathematics, dealing with exponents is a regular occurrence. It is for this reason that we need quick, easy-to-use tricks in order to effectively and efficiently work with exponents. Fortunately, there are many simple tricks available, tricks that we call "properties of exponents".
Of all of the properties, otherwise known as laws or rules, "power rule" is arguably the most important law of exponents to know.
What is the Power Rule?
Power Rule, or Power Law, is a property of exponents that is defined by the following general formula:
In words, the above expression basically states that for any value to an exponent, which is then all raised to another exponent, you can simply combine the exponents into one by just multiplying them. This is often just referred to as "raising a power to a power". For a video explanation, check out the tutorial on power of a power rule.
The best way to illustrate this concept is to put it into practice.Power Rule Examples:
Let's do some examples of taking a power of a power with the power rule.Example 1:
For this first example, let's keep things very simple. In this case, we have an expression similar to that of the general formula above. The only work we have to do to solve this problem is multiplying powers. After that, we can solve!
Example 2:
This example is just an expansion on the previous one. In this case however, it is important to recognize that we do not have to use the power rule with the third exponent "2". We can solve this problem in one of two ways:
Either of these options works perfectly well, and it is really up to you to decide how you want to solve the problem.Example 3:
In this example, we're making this a little more difficult by bringing in a variable with a constant, all of which is raised to another power. We are still taking the power of a power, but we need to do an extra step to deal with the variable and constant.
To solve, all we need to remember is to apply the exponent "2" to both the constant "9" as well as a4 using the power rule. If we remember to do all this, solving this problem is no issue at all!
Example 4:
For this last example, let's tackle a much more complicated problem. This problem may seem daunting at first, but using what we've learned from power rule, it will end up being no problem at all to solve it. For a video solution to this problem, click the link here.
For this problem, solving it is very similar to that of example 3. We just need to apply the power "2" to every term in the brackets as follows:
After we do that, we just need to evaluate every term and solve!
And that's all there is to it! Now you should be well suited to solve any problem using power rule. For more practice this with law, and with other properties of exponents, look here.
Lastly, if you're looking for help on power rule derivative questions, we've got you covered in our Calculus course.

Library Snapshot Day provides a way for libraries of all types across a state, region, system or community to show what happens in a single day in their libraries. How many books are checked out? How many people receive help finding a job? Doing their taxes? Doing their homework? This initiative provides an easy means to collect statistics, photos and stories that will enable library advocates to prove the value of their libraries to decision-makers and increase public awareness.

More about Library Snapshot Day
The concept originated in New Jersey as a joint effort between the New Jersey Library Assn. and the New Jersey State Library. Soon after, many states began emulating the effort. At the 2010 ALA Midwinter Meeting, the ALA Advocacy Coordinating Group, in conjunction with the Chapter Relations Committee and COSLA, agreed to take this initiative to a national level, asking that states across the country find a date to conduct their own Library Snapshot Day.

College presents "Fall into Dance" concert
Andrea Vasquez -- November 15, 2013
HOUSTON – The San Jacinto College South Campus Dance Performing Arts Company (PAC) will present its "Fall into Dance" concert Nov. 21 and 22.
This year's concert will feature the choreography of guest artist Dionne Noble of NobleMotion Dance. As fast-paced techno music by Christian Cherry and 2562 pulses away, the dancers hurdle, shake, and fling themselves through the space for an exhilarating ride of a dance. Other highlights include a site-specific work in the Marie Spence Flickinger Fine Arts atrium by adjunct faculty Rebekah Chappell, and additional choreography by faculty members Jamie Zahradnik of Rednerrus Feil Dance Company and Stephanie Henderson.
The San Jac Dance PAC is under the new direction of San Jacinto College dance professor Diane Cahill Bedford. "My goal is to continually provide our students and audiences with an opportunity to experience the work of dance professionals from around Houston and beyond," said Bedford. "Our students are talented and growing in their experiences with every rehearsal, and they cannot wait to share their talents with the surrounding community," she added. The concert will also include choreography by Bedford and students in the dance program.
"Fall into Dance" begins at 7:30 p.m., each night in the Marie Spence Flickinger Fine Arts Center on the San Jacinto College South Campus, located at 13735 Beamer Road in Houston. Admission is $5 for seniors and students with a student ID, and $10 general admission.
The Dance Guild, a student organization developed to support the efforts of the South Campus dance program, will also sell one-of-a-kind 2014 dance calendars, and will and raffle T-shirts to raise money for future performances, guest artists, and attendance at the annual American College Dance Festival.

Adams State University commences search for new president
The Adams State University Presidential Search Committee has officially commenced its search for a new president today, with the release of the position announcement. Current President, Dr. David Svaldi, will retire after ten years in the post at the conclusion of the 2014-15 academic year.
The Board of Trustees for Adams State University established the Search Committee this past January, charging it with providing a list of semi-finalists to the Board by the end of the year. The Committee includes faculty; professional, administrative, and classified staffs; students; and community and ASU Foundation leaders. The Trustees intend to interview finalists for the position during the spring of 2015, with the new president assuming office July 1, 2015.
The search committee is chaired by Trustee Paul Farley, of Centennial, Colo. He noted the Board has prioritized four essential qualities for Adams State's next president:
- effective management/administration
- academic leadership
- political skill
- strong fundraising/development skills
"We're looking for a sound strategic vision, an ongoing commitment to academic excellence, an understanding of the unique mission of the University, and an appreciation of the cultures and traditions of Adams State's community," Farley added.
Located in Alamosa, Colorado, a community of 10,000 on the banks of the Rio Grande, the University plays a pivotal role in expanding southern Colorado's educational opportunities, economic development, and cultural enrichment. In 2015, Adams State will complete $84 million worth of construction and renovation projects on its 90-acre campus.
With an annual budget of $58.9 million, Adams State University employs 377 people (111 full-time faculty and 266 staff). It was founded in 1921 to educate teachers for rural areas of Colorado and now offers over 50 areas of undergraduate study, as well as master's and doctoral programs, most of which are available online. Enrollment in fall 2013 included 2,284 undergraduate students, 927 graduate students, and 9,000 non-degree-seeking students enrolled through Adams State's Extended Studies.
Adams State is one of Colorado's most cost-effective post-secondary institutions, with a historic commitment to under-served populations, including minorities, first-generation, and low-income students. It was Colorado's first four-year higher education institution to be federally designated a Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) and since 2000 has been awarded a total of $14.1 million in Title V grants designed to improve capacity and services. Two five-year grants totaling $6.1 million are currently underway. In intercollegiate athletics, Adams State competes in NCAA Division II, Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
The Adams State Trustees contracted with Pyramind, LLC, of Falls Church, Va., to assist in the search.

I would use a sort algorithm that works with multiple indices.

I think to x and y combined in a color and i wish extract the groups of 2d points that have a similar color.
Is the same thing as an ordering based on x and y?

Construction 'faces decade of pain'
Around 60,000 construction jobs were lost last year, and the industry is facing another decade of "pain", a new study has warned.
An annual skills report painted a "stark" picture in 2012, with a 20% downturn in public sector housing contracts, a 5% fall in the private housing sector and a 15% cut in road and other infrastructure construction.
The Construction Skills Network predicted falls in job levels every year until 2016, reaching a low of 2.3 million, the worst for over a decade.
Recruitment is set to run at under 30,000 a year from now until 2017, mainly to fill vacancies arising from workers leaving, said the report.
Only Greater London and the East of England will see employment levels grow, according to the research.
Spokeswoman Judy Lowe said that construction had found itself at the centre of a "perfect storm" last year, hit by public spending cuts and a lack of investment in the private sector.
"Worryingly, the outlook doesn't look much better. By 2017 construction output will still be 12% down on its 2007 peak, and employment 17% down on its peak in 2008. We don't anticipate the industry returning to its former levels until at least 2022, meaning this will be one of the most difficult periods for construction on record."
There are around 150,000 unemployed construction workers, potentially costing the economy £2.1 billion a year in benefits and lost tax revenue, the report added.
Steve Murphy, general secretary of construction union Ucatt, said: "These latest figures make grim but all too predictable reading. The construction industry is struggling as a direct result of Government policies. The Government, the largest client in the construction industry, has cut spending at a time when the private sector has been unable to fill that gap. This has been catastrophic for construction workers who have needlessly lost their jobs.
"Rather than destroying people's lives the Government needs to invest in the future, starting with a social house building programme which will provide desperately needed homes, get skilled workers back to work and help get the industry back on its feet."

Following on from my review of the Milka Ski Guadi a few days ago, I today tried the second of the three new Milka variants the Milka Snowboard Fun - a bar formed of 'Milka White Chocolate with a yoghurt and wild berry filling'. Although I wasn't really looking forward to reuniting my taste buds with the Milka White Chocolate, the wild berry filling included flavourings of cranberries, blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, which certainly made for an interesting proposition.
I ate the 100.0g bar over two sittings, both of which provided reasonably satisfying snack portions. I liked the aesthetics of the bar, the packaging was in the standard Milka style with the purple theme predominant. The interest of the presentation really came in the form of the bar itself where the red syrupy filling looked appetising sandwiched in between the two lighter coloured chocolate and yoghurt layers. What immediately struck me about this product was the forthcoming smell that emanated from the bar. It was fruity, yet a little synthetic ... as much as I wanted to hate it for its cheap like aroma, I actually found it relatively tempting.
When I reviewed the Milka White Chocolate solus I really didn't rate it ... it just seemed so monotomous in its shockingly sweet flavours, thankfully I can say that in this bar where it wasn't such a focal point it was far better suited. The white chocolate was still very sweet, though its creamy flavours were highlighted more greatly when eaten in tandem with the slightly soured yohgurt filling. Much as the smell of the bar suggested the wild berry flavours were very dominant and really added an extra dimension to the taste. The artificial generation of the berry flavours was unquestionable, though their fruity, tart influence was highly enjoyable against the milky, sweeter flavours of the chocolate and yogurt. All these fantastic flavours were delivered in delightfully different textures, with the chocolate melting beautifully into the drier yoghurt filling, all of which was complimented nicely by the moist wild berry syrup.
Overall I really thought this wasn't going to be a bar I was going to enjoy, but truth be told I grew really quite fond of this bar by the time I had finished it. As I have said the wild berry implementation was obviously artificial with the use of flavourings, but it was still efficient in delivering some delicious zingy, fruity flavours that balanced the sweetness of the bar nicely. If your a white chocolate fan I would strongly suggest you give this a bar a try, I wasn't expecting to ever say this about a bar that includes Milka White Chocolate but this is definitely a product I would have again.

Admit it: When you hear a celebrity has struggled to get pregnant, has gone through IVF, used a gestational surrogate or has suddenly popped out a pair of perfect twins, you feel a little better knowing you're not alone in this fight against infertility.
We all feel it: There is strength in numbers, especially when it comes to this.
Money might be able to buy you a beautiful baby nursery, but it can't buy you a good ovarian reserve and unfortunately it can't reverse the aging process, or the ability to conceive a child on your own. Though it can certainly help you get the best treatment from the best doctors, which we know can be quite costly—being famous has its perks.
I recently wrote an article for Parenting.com about celebrity moms who've battled infertility, just like us! It was not to celebrate their problems in the reproductive department, it was to recognize that infertility affects 7.3 million people in the U.S. alone, or 1 in 8 couples according to Resolve. Translation: It's not uncommon. And infertility doesn't discriminate between you and someone you idolize on TV.
I did a lot of research for the article, to pull together 14 celebrities who've gone public with their fertiltiy treatments and procedures, but there were two people who stood out the most, because of their willingness to be so honest and open, even under such an intense microscope of media attention: Nicole Kidman and Elizabeth Banks.
Watch this video interview with Nicole Kidman, with Australia's 60 Minutes, which she conducted after her second daughter, Faith, with Keith Urban was born via a gestational carrier. It's the most candid interview I've ever seen with her, where she reveals her own roller coaster ride with infertility—something she's been struggling with since her marriage to Tom Cruise. (Who knew?)
The most recent celeb to open up about infertility is Elizabeth Banks (Man on a Ledge, What to Expect When You're Expecting, 30 Rock), who recently had son Felix, in 2011, also with the help of a gestational carrier. She speaks very candidly about her reason for choosing surrogacy. It moved me to tears.
You can read more about other celeb moms with infertility, and their personal journeys—some might actually surprise you. You might even notice a celeb or two missing from the list who you thought would be on it (i.e. women who've denied any treatments like IVF despite evidence to the contrary).
When you hear about a celebrity getting pregnant—or a celeb who has just adopted a baby, like Charlize Theron—with seemingly no problems, how does it make you feel?

Orange curd & milk chocolate Piramides!
This is what I came up with: a milk chocolate molded bonbon filled with orange curd and an orange curd ganache. Here they're seated on feilletine, a kind of crunched waffers, one of my favourite ingredients. Citrus are so versatile, I had trouble focusing in just one thing to do. But the "need" to use my new chocolate molds spoke lauder than any other idea.
- Orange Curd:
- 250 gr (9 oz) sugar
- 2 oranges
- 100 gr (3.5 oz) unsalted butter
- 3 eggs
- Orange Curd Ganache:
- 200 gr (7 oz) milk chocolate
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1/2 cup orange curd
- Bonbons:
- Milk chocolate
- Orange curd ganache
- Orange curd
For the Orange Curd mix together in a pan the juice and rind of the oranges, the eggs beaten and the sugar. Over very low heat (or on top of a double boiler if you prefer) stir constantly until the mix thickens and you can easly coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat, stain and add the butter cut into small chuncks, little by little until it's all incorporated and you have a nice, smooth and shiny cream. Cover with plastic wrap or vegetable paper to avoid the formation of a skin on top. You can store it in the fridge or frize it.
For the Ganache cut the chocolate into little chuncks or use chip and take to the microave for 1 minute. Heat the cream until almost starts to boil and pour over the chocolate. Leave for a couple of minuts and then stir it with a spoon until you have a uniform glossy chocolate ganache. Add at this point the orange curd and let it cool.
To assemble the Bonbons, fill the moulds with tempered chocolate and let it harden. Add a little bit of cold ganache into each one, pushing it with the help of a small spoon into the sides of the mould, making a cavity where the orange curd will sit. Then add a small amount of curd and take it to the frizer so the curd can harden a bit. Cover with more ganache and finish with more chocolate, cleaning the surface of the mold with a knife. Unmold when they're set: you'll notice a kind of foginess on each bonbon, that means they have shrunck a little after hardening. That's normal and that means they're read to be unmold.
Happy friday, a sugar-high-citric one!

They can, because they have already done it once with letting go of easiness and practicing a new way. They don't do that because they are addicted, but because they try to find something.

The Premier League new boys have made a number of bids to sign the 23-year-old so far this summer, none of which have impressed Bruce.
The Tigers boss told the Hull Daily Mail: "Norwich have come in with bids for Robbie but I have to say they have been embarrassing.
"The supporters should know the truth and Norwich came in two weeks ago with a bid of ??2million, ??2.5million and then ??3million.
"That's ridiculous for someone who is 23, has played two years in the Premier League and has become a regular international.
"When we have just got almost twice that for Tom Ince (who joined Derby for ??5million). It doesn't make sense. We paid ??2.75million for Robbie and that was three years ago.
"This can unsettle players and it is all part of the game but Robbie Brady will not be going for anywhere near that.
"If it happens, it happens, but Norwich are nowhere near the figures we would even think about accepting at the moment."

New services
In addition to the launch of its first smartphone app the Library added a number of important new services and facilities.
- Harry M Weinrebe Learning Centre
Funded entirely through private donations, the refurbished and expanded centre opened in September. It will help young learners to develop their digital research skills and explore the Library's collections. The Centre is now fully digitally-enabled, with video-conferencing facilities and remote viewing equipment giving access to schools throughout the country. Since opening, more than 26,000 people have benefitted from using the Centre.
- Additional Storage Building
The Library's new £26 million Additional Storage Building at Boston Spa became fully operational. All remaining items from leasehold premises in London were transferred to this flagship building, one of the largest and most technologically advanced library repositories in the world.
The programme, funded by Arcadia, was launched to collect 200 in-depth interviews with British scientists over three years, creating a major archive for the study and public understanding of science.

MAX BAT Model MBX (73) Adult Wood Baseball Bat
Product Code: MBMBX
Availability: Custom Made To Order
Availability: Custom Made To Order
Price: $99.00
The 73 is based on the model Barry Bonds used originally created by Sam Bat. It's your basic big barrel power hitters bat but they added an extra-large flared knob. It acts like a counter balance making what would normally be an end loaded bat feel more balanced. Barry choked up 2-3 inches with this model to get the full effect of the counter weight, but we think 1 inch is fine so consider ordering it longer then you normally would. We recommend this model for more seasoned wood bat users.
|Custom made to order just for you. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery in most cases
|Similar to a 73
|Bell Knob
|2 1/4" Bottom Hand
|15/16" Top Hand
|2 1/2" Barrel
|All Max Bats are cupped to weight
|Choose from Ash, Birch or Maple

Discover one of the oldest, easiest and healthiest ways to preserve food. Natural lactic acid fermentation allows vegetables to retain more vitamins and minerals than other methods. Plus, styled after the traditional European fermenting pots, these crocks are made for easier use.
When the gutter around the rim is filled with water and the heavy lid placed on top, an air-tight seal forms to protect food from air and decay. (The gutter must be occasionally refilled as water evaporates.) These crocks can be kept in a cool place for months, letting the vegetables inside ferment naturally.
Note: Weight stones vary in color. Because German-made crocks are handmade, measurements may slightly vary. Also, there are often imperfections in the finish where the lighter tan of the ceramic shows through the dark brown glaze. These imperfections do not affect the performance.

West Orange-Stark runs over Columbia to set up matchup with Jasper
West Orange-Stark's second-round playoff game against Columbia turned from a tight ballgame at the half to a laugher in the second half with even an offensive lineman getting in on the scoring action.
The Mustangs trounced Columbia 61-7 Friday night at Channelview High School to advance to the third round of the Class 3A Division I playoffs where Jasper awaits.
West Orange-Stark (10-1), ranked 13th in the state, is moving on to the third round of the playoffs for the third year in a row.
"We finally put it together on the road and that was my main concern coming into this," said West Orange-Stark head coach Cornel Thompson, in his third year as the team's head coach. "We had that slow start but [Columbia] had something to do with that."
The Mustangs went into the half with a 21-7 lead over Columbia (4-7) but struck quickly to open the second half on a 79-yard screen pass from Dillon Sterling-Cole to Will Johnson.
Sterling-Cole, a sophomore, finished the game with five touchdown passes and no interceptions.
After Tavin Terrell came up with an interception on defense, the Mustangs added another score, this time a 13-yard run from Sterling-Cole.
Columbia fumbled on its next offensive possession and West Orange-Stark punched it in several players later on a two-yard rushing touchdown by Elijah Teel, an offensive lineman. By that point the Mustangs had a commanding 40-7 lead.
Sterling-Cole finished the game 15 of 26 passing for 266 yards. Will Johnson was the Mustangs' leading receiver with five catches for 105 yards and two touchdowns.
Dwain Boullard had two receptions for 70 yards and also ran the ball in for a score.
Chase Rutledge, a junior, led the Mustangs on the ground with 15 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown.
"Chase Rutledge played a heck of a game; he is one of our better running backs and knows where the goal line is," Thompson said. "He went north with it. Chase wears a lot of hats. That son of a gun is hard to tackle. He has a lot of wiggle in his walk."
Defensively, the Mustangs allowed just four first downs. Tre Spencer also added an interception.
The Mustangs were scheduled to play Jasper earlier in the season but the game was canceled due to weather. The game is Friday in Humble.

If you ever played Lemmings or Worms you will have an idea of how this game functions but this game takes the concept so much further. You have full realtime control over all your characters and instead of simply starting with all the weapons or tools you must first dig through the ground to find ore and bring it back to your base to sell it. Then you can purchase new items or even build structures like elevators to assist in moving resources around. The number of items and different resources in this game is amazing. It is very easy to spend hours just exploring all the different possibilities!

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — The winner of the Little Miss Hispanic Delaware contest has been stripped of her crown over concerns that she is not Hispanic.
The News Journal of Wilmington (http://delonline.us/15AmTA6) reported Saturday that 7-year-old Jakiya McKoy lost the title two weeks ago.
Some critics of the decision say the move was made because McKoy is black and not Latina enough, though organizers say it had nothing to do with race.
"There is just like a baseline of disrespect to black women," Daniel Jose Older, who started a Change.org petition, told the newspaper. "As Latinos, it's really important that we understand what's going on with us and that we reclaim this girl as our sister.
Pageant organizers require contestants to be at least 25 percent Hispanic.
Maria Perez, president of Nuestras Raices (Our Roots), who operates the Miss Chiquita Delaware pageant, says the verification that the child brought did "not specify she was 25 percent Hispanic or Hispanic at all."
She was still allowed to participate in the pageant, but parents of at least two other participants said they heard from McKoy or through their children that the girl said she was not Hispanic.
"It's not about the skin color. It's not about anything else like that, because as you know, Latinos come in all sizes, flavors and colors. We all know that," Perez said. "We've had a Dominican Miss Hispanic Delaware before, we've had a Mexican Miss Hispanic Delaware before, we've had a French-Mexican, we've had a Puerto Rican. You name it, we've had it all."
Perez said McKoy will be given the crown if she can prove that she is 25 percent Hispanic.
Older said McKoy's grandmother was born in the Dominican Republic and lived illegally in the United States before she died. He said she therefore didn't have proof of where she came from.
The child and her father live in Wilmington.

There's a lot to chew on in this TechCrunch.com interview with Cavaliers owner/Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert about entrepreneurship and urban revival. It's a long interview, focused primarily on Mr. Gilbert's business efforts in Detroit. But it has significant resonance for Cleveland, where one of Mr. Gilbert's ventures, startup accelerator Bizdom, is trying to replicate some of the success it has had in the Motor City. Quicken Loans also has become a major job generator in downtown Detroit. Here are some of the highlights of Mr. Gilbert's comments:
"I think it's pretty clear to everybody (that people in the 20s and 30s) want to be in urban core, so they just ditch Michigan. When you sit around tables and you listen to people talk about their relatives or their kids or their grand kids or their friends or their friends' kids, they say 'This one is moving to Chicago, this one is moving to New York, this one is moving to San Francisco.' If we're going to keep growing and keep doing the kinds of things we do, we're Quicken Loans, we're a really technology company that happens to do loans."
"(Startups in Detroit) can get some great people, some hardworking, Midwest people who first of all tend to be loyal here; they just do. … (There) is just less competition for the talent, and so you have a better chance and maybe keeping the same group of people with you for a long period of time. And it's exciting and there are startups happening."
"Through Detroit Venture Partners and Rockbridge (a private equity firm) we try to tap into the operational expertise of our business. … We really try to look at it as one company, one business, one family where people can tap in and either recruit other people maybe to come over and help in or even for short periods of time. For instance, we're even going to put what we call our mousetrap. People who just process excellence, we're going to put them in the Casino in Cleveland for a period of time to help them. There's going to be two or three people go over there for 90 days just to help them set-up their process excellence."
"One of the figures I give to people here is that you pay less per square foot for the building than the average rental rate is in New York for a year. So you think about that difference. I'm not bragging, I'm just saying, 'Hey, there's a significant advantage' even in Cleveland where we're active, the real estate prices didn't decline like in Detroit.
Get it done
Comments from two economic experts from KeyCorp in Cleveland underscore what's at stake in the fiscal cliff negotiations. This MarketWatch.com story notes that the Nasdaq Composite index just scored its first positive November since 2009, even as the political rhetoric over the budget continued with little obvious progress toward a deal. "I don't think there is a politician out there that wants on their watch an adverse economic outcome. But they could wait for the 11th hour," said Nick Raich, director of Key Private Bank in Cleveland, of the possible repercussions of not reaching an agreement to block billions in automatic spending cuts and tax increases early next year. "Our base case is there will be some sort of solution, but it may not occur by or on Dec. 31, so the market is not pricing completely going off the cliff, but more of a roll down the hill," Mr. Raich added. This Bloomberg story says the world economy "has recovered to its strongest level in 18 months as China's stimulus measures bolster growth and the U.S. seeks to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff, a Bloomberg Global Poll of investors showed." One of those polled was Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Kay Private Bank. "With so much monetary stimulus around the world, we've taken the brakes off the global economy," he told Bloomberg. "It should mean improved growth into next year. Officials in Europe and in the U.S. seem to realize that we're on the precipice of some pretty negative outcomes if they don't do something to find better solutions."
This and that
Taking it slow: Foreclosures in Ohio take an average of 571 days to complete, making it the ninth-slowest state in the country, according to this story from MarketWatch.com, based on data from RealtyTrac. The slowest state, at 1,072 days, is New York. Also slower than Ohio are Connecticut (661 days), Florida (858) Hawaii (662), Illinois (673), Indiana (603), New Jersey (931) and Pennsylvania (580). Business-friendly Texas will get you through the foreclosure process faster than any other state. It takes only 97 days, on average, to complete a foreclosure there. Move along: The New York Times profiles Dr. Michael Roizen, the chief wellness officer at the Cleveland Clinic, and declares he's "at the forefront of the upright workers movement." That "movement," The Times says, "is not a union uprising, but a reference to the growing numbers of office workers who are rising from their chairs to stand, even walk, for health reasons." (Check out this story about Dr. Roizen, by Crain's Dan Shingler, from January 2011.) Dr. Roizen walks the walk, so to speak. He "typically works at a treadmill desk for hours a day" and follows a 10,000 steps-a-day regimen for better health, The Times says. "For me, this setup is a way around inactivity," he says. Dr. Roizen has "found he can effectively handle conference calls while walking at 3.3 miles per hour, typing to reply to e-mails at 1.8 mph, and more serious writing at 1.7 mph." Game on: Worried when you see your kid playing video games more than, say, reading books? Maybe you shouldn't be. "Over the last few years, there's been a lot of research done on the social, emotional, mental and physical benefits of gaming, and the results may surprise you: video games actually have considerable real-world benefits," USA Today reports. The newspaper cites data from the Entertainment Software Association that finds 62% of gamers play games with others, either in-person or online. These social games "teach kids leadership skills, including delegating responsibility, and working effectively as a team," according to the story. And research from Ohio State University "finds that players who engage in cooperative play in games show increased cooperative behavior," the newspaper reports.
